Does the City of Everett have a scooping law?

Yes. Like most other cities in the Puget Sound area, Everett has a municipal code that prohibits leaving pet waste on public property or on another person's private property or not carrying the necessary equipment to remove said fecal matter. Violators are subject to a $250 fine per incident when witnessed by the City's Animal Control Officer.
